Unsavory truth : how food companies skew the science of what we eat / by Nestle, Marion,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Is chocolate heart-healthy? Does yogurt prevent type 2 diabetes? Do pomegranates help cheat death? News accounts bombard us with such amazing claims, report them as science, and influence what we eat. Yet, as Marion Nestle explains, these studies are more about marketing than science; they are often paid for by companies that sell those foods. Whether it's a Coca-Cola-backed study hailing light exercise as a calorie neutralizer, or blueberry-sponsored investigators proclaiming that this fruit prevents erectile dysfunction, every corner of the food industry knows how to turn conflicted research into big profit. As Nestle argues, it's time to put public health first. Written with unmatched rigor and insight, Unsavory Truth reveals how the food industry manipulates nutrition science--and suggests what we can do about it"--

Quick Keto meals in 30 minutes or less : 100 easy prep-and-cook low-carb recipes for maximum weight loss and improved health / by Slajerova, Martina,author.;
"Keto is increasingly being regarded as the go-to eating plan for losing weight, reversing diabetes, or even maintaining general health.

Keto Meals in 30 Minutes or Less gives readers 100 delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner (and even snacks) that are quick, easy, varied, and delicious. Recipes are suitable for busy lifestyles, use commonly found ingredients, call for fewer ingredients and fewer steps, take a short amount of time to prepare--or can be made in large batches or used to build out other recipes such as casseroles, slow-cooker entrees, and pre-prepped vegetables and sides"--

Includes bibliographical references."Everything you need to know about the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin!

Melatonin has been widely used to correct problems of sleep disorders, and while this book looks into that research further and breaks down the impact of melatonin and sleep, it also addresses research that addresses melatonin use for its ability to regulate the circadian clock in general and impact other areas of health such oxidative stress, neuropsychiatric disorders, headaches, chronic pain, digestion, diabetes, fertility, pregnancy, cancer, and many age-related diseases. In this book, Dr. Fauteck summarizes critical information related to the necessity of maintaining regular biological rhythms and describes the pathological consequences of circadian rhythm disturbances.
